Social Security is well earned

Social Security is not a handout. Social Security is an income people have worked and died to earn. Many people in Moses Lake judge me because I get my Social Security at a young age due to disability. But I deserve my Social Security because I’ve been working since I was 14 years old. And back then they took big money out of my check, because I didn’t have kids or dependents. But you guys won’t have to judge me anymore. I’ll be working again soon, keeping Social Security strong for this hard-working future generation. And I’ll always fight to keep Social Security strong and alive.

To every lawmaker, let’s stop disrespecting Social Security, and stop calling people on Social Security lazy. We’re not lazy; we worked for Social Security. Work equals Social Security.
